On Saturday 24th August 2019, with a 5.00pm throw-in time, the Antrim select v Derry select teams will play against each other at Kickhams GAC Creggan.

The game will last 15 to 20 minutes with full GAA rules and an official referee.

As you will know already, the event is a “non-competitive” Gaelic Football match between players from Antrim and Derry. The players have learning disabilities or down syndrome and can be male, female, young and old and the focus of the entire day and event is to give these players their chance to shine and enjoy playing our games and GAA in front of a large crowd of supporters and family, which doesn’t happen often and possibly ever unfortunately. We want to make as big a deal of the event as we can as a result of this.

It’s one of the best events that we have ever been part of in previous years and it’s a really good sports news story that can be quite rare especially recently.

If you know someone that would like to take part can you forward their names onto us by email to francesandtony@yahoo.co.uk or by phone to 07752700309.
Thanks and good luck to both teams!
